Windows Task Scheduler doesn't start

I set up a scheduled task in w2000 server, but the status shows "Could not Start".
the task scheduler services is enabled and started, it's running under the local system account,
the batch file to be run through the task scheduled is located the local w2000 server
but the task does't start according to the schedule at all.

Are you tired of cycling through the same browser tabs everyday to close the same repetitive tickets? In this webinar JumpCloud will show how you can leverage RESTful APIs to build your own PowerShell modules to kill tickets & tabs using the PowerShell command Invoke-RestMethod.

Type the above at a command prompt. To see currently scheduled tasks, just type "AT" by itself.

the shcedule task service is enabled and started, I don't where the problem is from.

for some reason the scheduled task runs now witout AT command.
I don't know what happened. Any way the batch file runs but it runs in the background, it doesn't show up running on the screen, I mean there is no black window.

You can get more info on those type of errors by looking at the Scheduler Log. Open the Scheduled Tasks control panel, select "Advanced" then "View Log". The log is cyclic so the newest events are not always at the bottom.
